For electromagnetic analysis using method of moments (MoM), three-dimensional (3-D) arbitrary conducting surfaces are often discretized in Rao, Wilton and Glisson basis functions. The MoM Galerkin discretization of the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) includes a factor /spl Omega//sub 0/ equal to the solid angle external to the surface at the testing points, which is 2/spl pi/ everywhere on the surface of the object, except at the edges or tips that constitute a set of zero measure. However, the standard formulation of the MFIE with /spl Omega//sub 0/=2/spl pi/ leads to inaccurate results for electrically small sharp-edged objects. This paper presents a correction to the /spl Omega//sub 0/ factor that, using Galerkin testing in the MFIE, gives accuracy comparable to the electric field integral equation (EFIE), which behaves very well for small sharp-edged objects and can be taken as a reference.
